Proportional to his success?

Obviously this fluctuates quite a bit, but he really is quite successful, despite having no discernible musical talent.

He's done some tracks, but the majority, and the major tracks, have been produced by other people. Basically he isn't needed for anything. The songs are produced by other people, written by other people and performed by other people...He just shouts his stupid adlibs over it and calls it his own.

How do you know this? Im not saying youre lying or not even doubting it that much as its totally believable thats all he does (the adlibs and nothing else), but Im looking up the credits of most of his songs and hes credited as the producer in pretty much all of them.

While I know its possible that he just gets production credits for his name sake only, is there any concrete evidence that he doesnt do much production and that mostly other people write/produce/perform his songs?

Not defending him at all Im just genuinely curious about the whole ordeal.

Just going by the credits of some of his biggest singles and they're pretty much all produced by someone else. And on the albums overall he gets producer credits for curating the things

Songwriting credits he probably gets for adlibs

Then why do people collaborate with him so often if he's not necessary?

Producers aren't just beat-makers. They are essentially song directors. So when he has people in the booth recording, he's coaching them how to flow to the beat, best points of inflection, telling the engineers where to mix in stuff, input if not actually making the beats himself or collabing with people to make them.

He doesn't just spend money and shout out adlibs and call it a day. He does a lot more than that.

The guy's savviness is clearly with the networking and branding aspect of the business, not the music.

He gets production credits for buying a beat and getting artist to rap/sing over it. That's no different from movie producers finding a script and hiring a director and actors.

He also makes beats himself.
